Delta CEO Ed Bastian says artificial intelligence could increase profits 50%. The airline’s plans point toward fewer office jobs, automated decisions and different fares for individual passengers.
At least in the US, you have a very narrow window to cancel and then you’re stuck with it, unless you pay a huge premium for a refundable ticket. But I agree, practically-speaking, the only solution in a late-stage capitalist marketplace is to create some crowdsourced pricing information to identify pricing outliers. Which, truly, isn’t a good solution.
If we had a functional government, this would be regulated/prohibited on an emergency basis, since in theory government is supposed to represent people and not corporations. Unfortunately, in 2026, we’re livestock to herd and fleece.
Well whatever you do dont go to https://skiplagged.com/. They help people with the unethical practice of skip lagging (buying a ticket with a layover and never jumping on connection), which robs these struggling airlines of honestly earned profits.
I’m still waiting on $500 in refunds from when THE AIRLINES THEMSELVES canceled my fucking flights in early 2020. I didn’t reschedule with them — they couldn’t get me where I needed to be in time. Apparently they were allowed to cancel my flight and demand I reschedule everyone’s itinerary for whatever they’re able to support, holding my money hostage.
Ah, but didn’t you hear? Corporations are people, and since they’re the biggest and loudest (money is speech after all) people, they get all the attention.
It’s astonishing how much damage those two decisions have caused.
hey other human, how did you pay? oh shit… I. being fucked

Why haven’t you filed a complaint with the FAA or FTC or whoever yet? Or a chargeback with your bank?
